Let ordna be the order of a modulo n.
Thm: (a, n) = 1, then ax ≡ 1 (mod n) if and only if ordna|x .
As a consequence, ordn(a)|φ(n).

Thm: If (a, n) = 1, then ai ≡ aj (mod n) if and only if i ≡ j(mod ordna).
If (a, n) = 1 and a ≡ b (mod n), then ordna = ordnb.
If b = a−1 is the inverse of a modulo n, then ordna = ordna−1.

Primitive root
Def: if ordna = φ(n), then a is a primitive root of (modulo) n.
Thm: if (r , n) = 1, and r is a primitive root of n, then r , r2, . . . , rφ(n)
form a reduced system of residues modulo n.

If ordna = t, then ordn(au) = t

If r is a primitive root of n, then ru is a primitive root of n if and onlyif (u, φ(n)) = 1.
Furthermore, if n has a primitive root, then n has φ(φ(n))incongruent primitive roots.

142857 is a cyclic number
In general, if the digit period of 1/p (p prime) is p − 1, then thedigits represent a cyclic number.
In other words, if 10 is a primitive root for p, then 1/p has digitperiod p − 1, and the cyclic number has the form (10p−1 − 1)/p. Inthis case, p is called a long prime for 10.
